I have started shooting more and more video for my news clients. I have added a video section to my website. www.ottawaphotography.com/Video

From July 8 to July 19, 2009, I photographed the Ottawa Bluesfest for The Canadian Press. Over a period of nearly 2 weeks I sent 110 photos on The Canadian Press and Associated Press wire to newspapers, websites, and magazines around the world. Some of these photos can be seen in the Entertainment section of my website.

The Challenger Jet. On April 16, 2008 I went on 36 hour trip to the North Pole with the Minister of Natural Resources Canada. This is the Challenger jet we used to get to our first stop in the Arctic, Iqaluit.

Looking at the map of the Arctic just after starting the trip.

Boarding the Falcon 10 in Iqaluit. Iqaluit seemed very far south compared to where we were going.

The Falcon 10 jet was the most uncomfortable part of the trip.

These are the scientists who live at the camp near the North Pole. There are only about 20 scientists and helicopter pilots living there. They are mapping the polar continental shelf.

A video of our group boarding the plane in Iqaluit to go even further north.

A video of our group packed into the Falcon 10 plane. With the big parkas there wasn't much room.

A video of the Inuit village, Hall Beach, Nunavut.

A video shot from a helicopter of giant ice formations. They are much bigger than they appear. If we had more time up there the pilot said he would land one of the helicopters on top of them to give it some scale. They were only 20 people at the camp but 5 helicopters.
